I did a conversion to studs. They are Motorsport Hardware 90mm studs with 17mm open end race nuts. I did the same on my M6 and the X5 had to get it!

I honestly don't mind the ride at all!! I went from runflats to regular tires at the same time of the drop so I think it balanced out. My wife doesn't even complain about ride. It was the first thing she noticed when put coils on my M6 so that shows its not much of a difference. The roads in Vegas aren't too bad so maybe that helps.

Yep. The redesign will have to be very very nice to top the F15 for me

Did you then follow them and (metaphorically) slap them in the face at the next stop?

my OCD kicks into hyper drive when I get that "stuff" on either car....can't get it washed off fast enough. Since i've now driven my 535 in the "stuff", the X5 stays in the garage. I'll drive my wife to work if necessary

Lovin the carbon black, just a week old

Carbon Black is beautiful...

Wheel shop hooked me up with custom floating caps and painted the calipers

What is the offset of your wheel? It looked like sticking out a lot.

They were not able to tell me but it's spot on. When it's on the ground it's actually a bit on the conservative side. The offset is staggered but not the width or the tires. There's not too many staggered tire size options for trucks.

Roads in Los Angeles are terrible. But I'm used to avoiding potholes and streets that should have been re-paved 20 years ago.

I follow your forum and saw you wheel sticking out too.
I got the 20 inches with 25 offset., 315/35/20. I do not drive the car everyday. I drove it maybe once a week or every 3/4 days once. Every time I drove after parking for 3/4 days, the car have a feeling of little rock like a boat in the water during the first miles or two. After that it is normal. Am I having some issues?
Thanks.

Wavy · 01-13-2018, 12:31 PM

Here is angled shot showing the flushness. I could probably lower it with no rubbing.

P1 · 01-13-2018, 12:46 PM

Wow, 24s on an X6. If I were you, I'd put flares on the back and have the rear wheels sit flush with the flares.

You got additional pics?

Looks so good! Which ones are they exactly - any link? I want to order them, but are they 14x1.25 or 14x1.5?
